Leaving the nest – The Video Gamer

Leaving the nest isn’t as bad as it seems. It’s not as hard as it seems either.

The hardest bit can be deciding what area you want to live in, but don’t sweat it, the beauty of renting is being free to explore and move every year if you want to, (though we’re not sure our gamer would have the motivation).

He’s cashed up, our gamer. He’s been working a 9am – 5pm and living at home, so the savings have been stacking up. Lucky him.

Now he’s ready to leave the nest, where could he end up? And who with?

A solitary guy used to his ‘own’ space, he’ll be looking for a one bedroom apartment, somewhere he can still get his game on, without being interrupted.

With the perfect place locked and loaded, he scopes out what he’ll need to buy before moving in (in his case it’ll include a bar fridge for cola and a hearty cupboard for game consoles, CDs and cartridges).

Victory!

Where did the gamer go?

NSW

If our gamer was based in NSW, we think he’d have gone to Annandale in Sydney’s west.

35/268 Johnston Street, is $340 a week for a property which has one bedroom, one bathroom and one car space. Location wise it’s in close proximity to some of Syndey’s best suburbs, and has a lot to offer our gamer.

VIC

If our gamer was based in VIC, we think Brunswick would have been a top pick.

This one bedroom, one bathroom apartment is in the heart of Brunswick at 26A Hooper Street.

For $300 a week you get good access to public transport, a newly renovated interior, and open plan living which means it’s easy to clean and not far to the kitchen from the sofa. We think our gamer will like that. With the right configuration he won’t have to take his eyes off the TV screen, but still gets his independence, and a new lease of life.

WA

If our gamer was based in WA he could find himself in Mount Lawley, which has plenty to keep him entertained.

2/537 William Streetis $300 a week and has everything he needs, to get out of mum and dad’s house and stand on his own two feet. It even comes furnished, so that’s one less thing to think about. Now he’s running his own budget he’s looking for ways to save.
